where R 1 to R 4 are CI- to C 6 -alkyl, R 1 and R 2 and/or R 3 and R 4 together are a CH 2 chain having 2 to 5 carbon atoms.

Sterically hindered 4-aminopiperidines of the formula I are generally prepared on an industrial scale from acetone or acetone derivatives. I can be obtained in one step in a catalytic ring-closure reaction in the presence of ammonia and hydrogen from the compounds

by reductive amination in one or two steps, for example catalytically (see, for example, DE 2 040 975, DE 2 349 962, DE 26 21 870, EP 33 529, EP 42 119, EP 303 279, EP 410 970, EP 611 137, EP 623 585 and DE 42 10 311). The sterically hindered 4-aminopiperidines prepared industrially are generally purified by distillation.
0050/46972 2 The sterically hindered 4-aminopiperidines of the formula I have a variety of applications. In particular, they are used as intermediates in the preparation of UV stabilizers for synthetic polymers. The present invention furthermore relates to a mixture comprising piperidine of the formula I, from 1 to 1000 ppm of a dimer of the formula II and from 0.001 to 0.2 by weight of a reducing agent, and to the use thereof for the preparation of HALS (hindered amine light stabilizer) compounds. These are usually piperidines of the formula I in which the nitrogen atom of the 4-amino group has been alkylated or acylated (see R. Gachter, H. MUller (editors), Taschenbuch der Kunststoffadditive, Carl Hanser Verlag, Munich, 1979; F. Gugumus, Polym.
Degrad. Stabil. 44 (1994), 299-322).
For many applications, it is important that the piperidine of the formula I has high chemical purity. This is particularly true if the piperidine of the formula I is employed for the preparation of HALS compounds, since their product quality, and thus also the *quality of the stabilized polymers, is crucially dependent on :o 20 chemical purity. In particular, the dimer of the piperidine of the formula I, which is colorless, is an interfering by-product which forms in unacceptable amounts from the piperidine of the formula I even on storage under a protective gas in the dark at room temperature.
SNo processes are known for preventing dimerization of the piperidine.
US 4,316,837 discloses the reduction of 4-aminopiperidyl groups 30 in branched aliphatic alcohols to the corresponding 4-aminopiperidyl-containing branched alcohols. The dimer II of the piperidine I is not disclosed.
DD 266 799 describes purifying piperidines of the formula I by a process in which they are reacted in acetone/water solution with
CO
2 the precipitate is separated off, washed with acetone and then pyrolyzed, and the product is purified by distillation.
SU 18 11 527 describes another purification method for sterically hindered 4-aminopiperidines of the formula I, in which the unpurified crude product is dissolved in an aprotic solvent and reacted with ethylene glycol, and the reaction product is distilled and purified in a number of steps. Both processes are extremely complex and expensive. They do nothing to prevent the interfering subsequent formation of the dimer.
EP 477 593 discloses that the inherent color of crude N-alkyldialkanolamines can be improved by adding a metal borohydride and 0050/46972 3 distilling the mixture under certain conditions in the presence of water. However, the N-alkyldialkanolamines are a completely different class of substances to the sterically hindered 4-aminopiperidines of the present invention. Furthermore, Spec.
Chem. 4(2) (1984), 38-41, and US 3,159,276, US 3,207,790 and US 3,222,310 disclose that the product color can be improved by addition of sodium borohydride to ethanolamines, ethyleneamines or aromatic amines. This publication likewise does not mention the piperidine of the formula I or a colorless dimer of the formula II.
It is an object of the present invention to prevent or suppress the dimerization of the piperidines of the formula I.
We have found that this object is achieved by the abovementioned process, which comprises adding to the piperidine of the formula I from 0.001 to 0.2 by weight, based on the piperidine of the formula I, of a reducing agent of the formula MXH4-mYm, where M is an alkali metal, NR 4 where R are identical or different Cl-C 4 -alkyl groups, or an equivalent of an alkaline earth metal or an equivalent of zinc, X is boron or aluminum, Y is CN and m is 0 or 1.

In the sterically hindered 4-aminopiperidines of the formula I, the radicals R 1
R
2
R
3 and R 4 are, independently of one another, preferably Ci- to C 3 -alkyl, in particular ethyl or methyl, for example methyl.
The reducing agents employed are compounds of the formula MXH4-mYm, where M is an alkali metal, NR 4 where R are identical or different Ci-C 4 -alkyl groups, or an equivalent of an alkaline earth metal or an equivalent of zinc, preferably an alkali metal, in particular sodium or potassium, for example sodium, and X is aluminum or, in particular, boron, Y is CN and m is 1 or in particular 0. An example is sodium borohydride. In some cases, (RaO) 2 TiBH 4 or (RaO) 3 TiBH 4 where R a is C 1
-C
4 -alkyl, have also proven successful.
The amount of reducing agent added to the piperidine of the formula I is preferably from 10 to 1000 ppm, in some cases up to 500 ppm, in particular up to 200 ppm, based on the piperidine of the formula I. In some cases, the reducing agent can also be added in amounts of greater than 50 ppm, in particular greater than 100 ppm, in each case based on the piperidine of the formula I.
The method by which it is added is unimportant. The reducing agent can be added in one or more portions to a vessel containing the piperidine of the formula I and mixed in, for example by stirring. This can be carried out batchwise or continuously, in the latter case for example also by metering the reducing agent into a product stream containing or consisting of the piperidine of the formula I. It is also in principle conceivable to interchange the initially charged and added substances. The temperature and pressure are unimportant, and the reducing agent can be added during the conventional steps in the preparation of the piperidine of the formula I, for example during or in particular after the distillation step for final purification of the piperidine of the formula I in the preparation process. The reducing agent can be added in powder form or as a solution, for example in pure piperidine of the formula I.
The substance mixture of claim 5 comprising piperidine of the formula I, dimer of the formula II and reducing agent can be prepared in a simple manner by first separating crude piperidine of the formula I from dimer of the formula II in the desired manner by distillation. This can be carried out, for example, by distillation since the dimer of the formula II has a S* AMENDED SHEET 0 IPEA/EP /Vr e 0050/46972 significantly higher boiling point than the piperidine of the formula I. The person skilled in the art can easily determine the dimer content, for example by gas-chromatographic analysis. The reducing agent is then added as described.
HALS compounds are generally prepared from the novel mixture by alkylation or acylation of the piperidine of the formula I on the nitrogen atom of the 4-amino group in a conventional manner.
The novel process provides a simple and inexpensive way of preparing pure, sterically hindered 4-aminopiperidines of the formula I which are virtually free from dimers. This stabilization can take place in a simple manner at room temperature and frequently gives easy-to-handle solutions which remain free from dimers for at least several weeks.
Advantageous HALS compounds having a reduced by-product content can be prepared therefrom.
